Hi Robyn

My heart goes out to you, I know how you feel. Every year on my son's birthday, I take the day off work (if that applies) and usually isolate myself. I do the same as you, wonder if he's having a party, but mostly I wonder if he's thinking of me. I wish I could tell you as the years go by, it get easier, but, at least in my case, it doesn't.

I think your kids are more than entitled to call her 'big sis', she is after all, their sister no matter who her parents are.

You're in my prayers.

Sandy

P.S. My biggie these days is, I wonder if I'm a grandmother. Boy does that freak me out in a big way.... I'm only 42!!
